"They can call me whatever they like," Tony Blair brushes aside Tory claims that he is a liar.

"I would make the same decision. I can't say I am sorry about it. I am not sorry about it. I think I did the right thing. We presented the evidence in good faith," Mr Blair talking about the decision to go to war with Iraq.

"I think it was possible to go to war but to tell the truth, and Mr Blair did not tell the truth," Michael Howard, Tory leader, accusing Mr Blair of lying in the run-up to the Iraq invasion.

"The answer is we cannot know, and we cannot know in the absence of the full disclosure of what was the definitive legal advice that the Attorney General proffered to the Government," Charles Kennedy, the Liberal Democrats leader, when asked if he thought Mr Blair had lied over Iraq.

"If he had spent just a fraction of the time and energy and political capital that he spent on the war in Iraq instead on tackling climate change, then we might have had a better chance of achieving a genuinely safe and secure world," Caroline Lucas, MEP, for the Greens.
